I is aperspective view of the gun sight of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevation of the gun sight of the present invention;and

FIG. 3 is a side section taken along the line 33 of FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION As shown in the drawings, the gun sight of thepresent invention contains an attaching arm 11 having a hole 13 whichregisters over a corresponding opening 17 at the end of the barrel 16. Abolt 18 inserted through openings 13 and 17 with the aid of lock nut 19secures the gun sight to the barrel l6. Sighting member 12 is a discattached to the forward end of attaching member 11. Member 12 issubstantially circular in shape and is provided with a cut-out section14 in the shape of a cross.

The cut-out section 14 is substantially cross-shaped, being formed oftwo overlapping rectangles. the overlapping areas common to bothrectangles being approximately half of the area of each rectangle.

The gun sight of the present invention is particularly' effective whenapplied to a shotgun and permits amateur shooters to rapidly attainproficiency in skeet shooting.

What is claimed is:

l. A front gun sight for a shotgun comprising a sighting member andattaching means for mounting said sighting member on the shotgun barrelin a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of said barrel, saidsighting member comprising an opaque disc having a cut-out sectiontherein, the cut-out section being substantially cross-shaped, beingformed of two rectangles overlapping at right angles, the overlappingarea common to both rectangles being approximately half of the area ofeach rectangle.
